I chose this program because UGA is the top-ranking University that offers graduate-level studies in financial planning, it is nationally recognized, and because the online study setting fits perfectly into my lifestyle.

Being a first-generation immigrant, I have experienced first-hand how difficult it is for immigrants to navigate their way around complicated financial products. Immigrants tend to turn to their communities for guidance, but their communities often lack solid and affordable financial advice.
